Summary

This trial is testing whether CBT for insomnia can help reduce symptoms and disability related to migraines in adolescents.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adolescents aged 11-17 who have had headaches for at least three months and insomnia symptoms in the past month. They must be able to use the internet, speak English, read at a 5th grade level or higher, and complete surveys on their own. Those with diagnosed sleep disorders like apnea or narcolepsy, serious conditions such as diabetes or cancer can't participate.
What is being tested?
The trial tests if online cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) can help teens with migraines sleep better and reduce headache pain. It compares CBT for insomnia alone against combined CBT for both insomnia and pain management versus just learning about good sleep habits online.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this study involves non-medical interventions like online education and therapy sessions, side effects are minimal but may include discomfort from discussing personal issues during therapy.
